Feeding my Soul.

We spend last week in Kamiah for a family reunion.  It fed  my soul.  I loved watching the kids interact with their cousins.  I love my in laws home and property.  I loved the calmness and the slower pace of life.  I am glad we are past the point where my children need constant supervision and I can step back and enjoy it.   My soul was fed and I left with a full heart. Relationships were reconnected.

There were frustrating moments for sure.  Being  surrounded by family and having real conversations is what feeds me.  Not all the conversations were real in fact some seemed very fake.  But those conversations that were real and got rid of some of the layers of superficial  is what I crave and what I need. As I get older I realize I don't have time for fake people or surface conversations.  I need realness and if you aren't going to be real with me then I don't need you. 

I also crave calmness.  More and more I want to get away from the sounds and noise of the city and I crave the stillness of the country of getting my hands dirty and teaching my kids true hard work.

I loved seeing my kids interact with their cousins so much I am considering a trip to Texas for Spring Break.  Lee first question was "how are we going to afford that?"  We will figure it out was my response.  ;) 

So I left Kamiah with a full heart and longing for more experiences like that.  However, maybe that tis why I enjoy them so much because they don't happen all that much.

LOCK DOWN

The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down.  It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much.  We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday.  We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days.  Kids haven't been in a store in weeks.  Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects.  It has been good and bad.  More family time and less running around.  But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough.  Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school.  It is likely they won't be going back at all this year.  Victoria will be the most effected.  No eighth grade graduation likely   The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders.  Either way they are all out until 4/20.  "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13.  Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...

Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...
